Francis N. Bard '04 Endows 

Metallurgy Professorship 

GIFT of a professorship of Metallurgical 

Engineering was , formally 

made by Francis N. Bard '04 of 

Chicago, 111., at a University dinner in 

Willard Straight Memorial Room, 

November 7. Approximately 100 invited 

guests included alumni and 

others from industry and members of 

the University. 

Dean S. C. Hollister of the College 

of Engineering, who presided, announced 

also that Professor Peter E. 

Kyle '33 had been appointed the first 

incumbent of the Francis Norwood 

Bard Professorship of Metallurgical 

Engineering and that the School of 

Chemical Engineering is henceforth 

named the School of Chemical and 

Metallurgical Engineering. Under Pro- t 

fessor Kyle's direction are the foundry 

courses and other work with metals 

formerly given in Sibley College, with 

a broadened five-year program in 

which twenty-seven students., are already 

enrolled. 

Family Interest in Metals 

Bard, in presenting his gift of $250,- 

000 to the University to endow the 

new Professorship, said that knowledge 

of metals "is one of the oldest 

forms of human industrial activity . . . 

Civilization only progressed as the 

knowledge of metallurgy increased, 

and apparently in direct proportion." 

He expressed the hope that his gift 

would make possible "the inspiration 

and development of keen, productive, 

and scientifically-minded men in the 

field of metallurgy" and "the undertaking 

and accomplishment of metallurgical 

research of the highest order." 

He referred to the new professorship 

as "a very human thing in its conception 

and operation," saying, "It 

is made possible by a man whose forbears 

used engineering and metal 

tools; whose father was a self-made 

and successful rolling-mill man. . . . 

The original conception and founding 

have gone as far as they can go. The 

future is in active and competent 

hands. The scene shifts from the production 

of resources and capital to 

the academic and research field. If 

this Professorship can produce one or 

two outstandingly brilliant metallurgists 

of world-wide recognition a 

generation, it will have accomplished 

a worthwhile task. Let us hope it 

will produce one every few years. We 

can use them. But coupled with this 

search for prepotent minds must go 

the development of hundreds of 

finely-trained metallurgists capable of 

serving industry and their country 

well. 

"This great University has often 

been referred to as unique in its foundation 

and operation. It has produced, 

especially in its Engineering Schools, 

a great group of rugged individualists 

who are successful leaders in their 

fields. It is only natural, therefore, 

that I should wish that the University 

would maintain its tough moral and 

intellectual fibre, virility, and vigor 

over the years." 

President Edmund E. Day, accepting 

the gift for the University, called 

it "especially significant because it 

provides for a permanent investment 

in men." He cited the distinguished 

leadership which other endowed chairs 

at the University had made possible, 

and named the incumbents of endowed 

professorships, including Director 

Fred H. Rhodes, PhD '14, of 

the School of Chemical and Metal- 

lurgical Engineering, who holds the 

Herbert Fiske Johnson Professorship 

endowed by Trustee Herbert F. 

Johnson, Jr. '22 and his family. 

"These men," the President said, 

"typify the kind of leadership in 

science and the humanities that makes 

a university great. We need more of 

their kind and we are deeply grateful 

that tonight we may add Peter E. 

Kyle to the roll. 

"The donor who invests in superior 

men," the President continued, "whatever 

his motives and however keen 

his vision, achieves more than he can 

foresee. How could anyone in the sixteenth 

or seventeenth centuries have 

imagined the effects of underwriting 

Matthew Arnold in literature, John 

Ruskin in art, or Lord Rutherford in 

physics? And when the donor links 

his name with that of a great University, 

he creates about the most enduring 

memorial within the reach of 

man. As J. DuPratt White '90, late 

chairman of the Cornell Board of 

Trustees, said nearly thirty years ago, 

'The universities of the world, and all 

names that are attached to them and 

to their parts as institutions, are as 

imperishable as civilization.' Francis 

Norwood Bard has now built himself 

into Cornell and hence into the intellectual 

life of America, for all the 

years to come." 

Professor Kyle described "Cornell's 

New Program in Metallurgical Engi- 

BARD >04 ENDOWS METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING PROFESSORSHIP 

At a University dinner in Willard Straight Memorial Room, speakers were Professor 

Peter E. Kyle '33, first holder of the new professorship; Dean S. C. Hollister, Engineering; 

Francis N. Bard '04, formally presenting his gift of $250,000; President Edmund E. Day, 

whom the photographer was unable to picture, behind the lectern; and at right, Director 

Fred H. Rhodes, PhD Ί4, of the newly-named School of Chemical and Metallurgical 

Engineering. Wesp-Buzzell

neering." He cited the teachings of 

the late Director Robert H. Thurston 

and George Burr Upton '04 of Sibley 

College and Professor Adelbert P. 

Mills, Civil Engineering, as evidence 

that i 'metallurgy is not new at Cornell/' 

"It has long been the policy of 

the Engineering College to base all 

curricula on the teaching of fundamentals, 

with a minimum of instruction in 

specialized fields. The new Metallurgical 

Engineering curriculum continues 

this broad basic policy." He explained 

that the first two years are devoted 

essentially to basic mathematics, physics, 

chemistry, drawing, English, history, 

economics, and public speaking. 

Except for a short introductory course 

in metallurgy and one in metallurgical 

raw materials, the professional courses 

do not begin until the third year. In 

the last three years of the five-year 

course, besides technical courses in 

metals and metal processes, students 

are required to go further in physical 

chemistry, mechanics, and basic electrical 

engineering, and to study psychology, 

library use and patents, corporate 

and industrial organization, accounting, 

statistics, and quality control. 

He described the curriculum as 

providing "the fundamental training 

needed in metallurgy, a broad training 

in engineering, and sufficient work 

in the cultural subjects and business 

administration to give the student a 

well-balanced educational program." 

He referred to the need for welltrained 

engineers in the foundry industry 

and recent provision by the 

Foundry Educational Foundation of 

scholarships and equipment for this 

specialized training. 

Facilities To Expand 

He spoke of present facilities for 

teaching and research which are being 

modernized and expanded, temporarily 

in Olin Hall and the Foundry 

behind Sibley until the new Materials 

and Metallurgy Laboratory is built on 

the site of the Old Armory, funds for 

the first unit of which are now in hand. 

He acknowledged also gifts from 

alumni and others of equipment and 

teaching aids, and "the helpful advice 

received from many Cornellians 

and others in the metallurgical industries 

during the planning of the 

curriculum and laboratories." 

Francis N. Bard entered Sibley 

College as a Sophomore in 1901 after 

two years at the University of Chicago, 

and received the ME in 1904. 

He worked in the foundry, factory, 

and engineering department of the 

Platt Iron Co. in Dayton, Ohio, then 

for Allis-Chalmers Co. designing steam 

turbines, and in 1908 joined his father 

in Chicago in the management of the 

Norwall Manufacturing Co. A small 

company which they acquired for research 

has become the Barco Manu- 

facturing Co., almost the sole maker 

of special flexible ball joints, gasoline 

percussion hammers, and similar devices 

for railroads and industry, sold 

all over the world. As an avocation, 

Bard operates a citrus ranch and some 

250,000 acres of range land in Arizona 

where he has bred cattle suited to the 

climate and terrain, and a 440-acre 

grain, cattle, hog, and poultry farm at 

Crystal Lake, 111. He is also a biggame 

hunter, has been a director of 

the National Association of Manufacturers, 

is a member of Delta Tau 

Delta and of the Cornell Clubs of 

Chicago and New York. 

Professor Kyle was appointed to 

the Chemical Engineering Faculty in 

January, 1946, as professor of Applied 

Metallurgy, after twelve years at 

MIT, where he received the MS in 

ME in 1939. After receiving the ME 

here in 1933, he spent the next year at 

Lehigh as holder of the James Ward 

Fellowship in Mechanical Engineering. 

During the war, he was consultant 

on materials, production methods, and 

allied projects for the British Air Commission 

and was research supervisor 

for the US Metallurgy Committee. 

He won a McMullen Scholarship in 

Engineering, was Senior editor-inchief 

of the Sibley Journal, and was 

elected to Tau Beta Pi. Mrs. Kyle is 

the former Fanny Sly '30. 

Gives Thurstoniana 

/COLLECTION of correspondence, 

^-Λ books, diplomas, and medals belonging 

to the late Robert Henry 

Thurston, Director of Sibley College 

of Engineering from 1885 until his 

death in 1903, has been acquired and 

given to the University by Trustee 

Arthur H. Dean '19. The collection 

will be exhibited in the Materials and 

Metallurgy Laboratory to be erected 

on the new Engineering Campus. 

ROBERT HENRY THURSTON 

All the letters, covering a period 

between 1880 and 1895, were written 

to Thurston, a noted inventor and 

father of mechanical engineering education 

in America. The 300 items are 

from such contemporaries of Thurston 

as Hiram Sibley, founder of the Western 

Union Telegraph Co. and benefactor 

of Sibley College; Thomas A. 

Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Lord 

Kelvin, President Andrew D. White, 

George Westinghouse, Jr., Sir Hiram 

Maxim, Nikola Tesla, and Andrew 

Carnegie. 

A letter from Sibley, written in 

1886, warns Thurston against the 

University adding schools of divinity 

and medicine, "which might be the 

destruction of Cornell." He urged 

that the teaching of divinity would 

"kill the efforts of the Founder and 

the appropriation." One from Andrew 

Carnegie in 1888 concerned Carnegie's 

nephew who wanted to study at Cornell. 

Included also is a petition from 

Thurston's students, April 7, 1894, 

asking that he give informal talks on 

Engineering Reminiscences, "these to 

include parts of your own varied 

engineering experience, in the Navy 

and later, and something of the personality 

and achievements of the 

noted engineers with whom you have 

been associated." 

Dean, the donor of the Thurston 

collection, was born in Ithaca, the son 

of the late William C. Dean whom 

Director Thurston was instrumental 

in bringing to the University in 1894 

as Uμiversity superintendent of steam 

heating and water service. Dean 

learned that the collection was offered 

to the University by a dealer in Philadelphia, 

Pa., and bought it after it had 

been investigated by Mrs. Edith M. 

Fox, AM '45, acting curator of the 

Collection of Regional History. Dean 

was appointed to the Board of Trustees 

by Governor Thomas E. Dewey 

two years ago, for the five-year term 

ending in 1950, He received the AB in 

1921, the LLB in 1923; is a partner in 

the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, 

48 Wall Street, New York City. 

D RAMATIC 

"Joan of Lorraine" 

CLUB opened its 

"thirty-ninth season" with an 

ambitious and notably successful production 

of Maxwell Anderson's "Joan 

of Lorraine." The show virtually 

filled the Willard Straight Theater, 

November 6, 7, and 8, during "Autumn 

Weekend" on the Campus. 

The difficult drama of a play-inrehearsal 

was remarkably well cast, 

and all the student actors handled 

their parts convincingly. Especially 

impressive were the lead characters, 

Robert D. Asher '47 of Leominster, 

178 Cornell Alumni News

Mass., as the director and Sylvia 

Hirschhaut '49 of Buffalo as the actress 

playing Joan. They were ably 

supported by E. Russell Smith '48 of 

Great Neck as Al, the stage manager, 

and his assistant, Virginia M. Genove 

'48 of Niagara Falls; by Anthony 

Geiss '46 of New York City who 

played the Dauphin of France, Henry 

R. Erie '50 of New York City as the 

wily deTremoille, Richard E. Perkins 

'48 (whose mother is the former 

Blanche Howland '11 of Newark, 

N. J.) as the Archbishop, and William 

A. Thompson '48 of Oakdale as Dunois, 

general of the French Army. The 

play was directed by Professor H. 

Darkes Albright, PhD '36, assistant 

director of the University Theatre, 

with assistance of Miss Genove and 

Smith. 

Savage Club Entertains 

ANOTHER sign of the commun- 

**• ity's return to pre-war status was 

the Savage Club of Ithaca show, 

"Foolscap" ("Pacsloof Ni Segavas)," 

which packed Bailey Hall, November 

7. It was a revival of the pleasant 

custom of a Savage Club meeting for 

the edification of the public, last held 

as "Niaga Sevagas" in 1940. Again 

the Brother Savages were seated at 

tables and in chairs brought from 

their Green Street basement clubrooms, 

and again they made merry 

for their own amusement and that of 

the appreciative audience. 

From the opening, with the rollicking 

reading by Prolocutor Rollo Tallcott 

of Ithaca College of a "Prolegomenon" 

in verse by Professor Bristow 

Adams, with dancing accompaniment 

of a jester in foolscap, Shelly Smith, 

the show provided entertainment par 

excellence. 

The meeting began with the assembled 

members singing the Club's 

"Heidelbaum Alma Mater" and "A 

Toast to Heidelbaum," written for 

the 1928 show by Ludwig F. Audrieth, 

PhD '26, and it proceeded for twoand-a-half 

hours of variety acts, 

stunts, and songs, the Brother Savage 

performers introduced by the Club 

president, Professor Charles K. Thomas 

'21, Speech. The acts ran the 

gamut from songs by the Savage Club 

Quartet and individual members, 

through legerdemain by R. Selden 

Brewer '40, and to the traditionally 

popular Alfred F. Sulla, Jr. '29 with 

his banjo. It was a good show and 

thoroughly enjoyed. 

Only thing missed by some of the 

old-timers was James Miller, longtime 

steward of the Club who the last 

five years has been incapacitated by 

illness from serving the Savages refreshment 

at their meetings, both 

public and closed. 

December /, 1947 

Now, in My Time! 

By 

HE radio business is still in 

Tthe difficult stage between 

childhood and adolescence. But 

the Cornell University Station has 

put on long pants and may reasonably 

be expected to shave and sing 

bass at any moment. 

Perhaps you'd like to hear about 

WHCU, which makes it possible 

for nearly 2,000,000 people to 

listen to the Cornell Bells in the 

Tower every day, to hear Kate 

Smith, spot news, and timely advice 

on how to freeze black bass, 

take gravy-stains out of evening 

clothes, and disinfect the brooder 

house. The University Department 

of Public Information seems seldom 

to mention this particular research 

project in its hand-outs. 

One suspects that the High Command 

may be a little embarrassed 

about WHCU because it operates 

in the black, since in the upper 

academic circles it is not considered 

quite cricket for any research 

project to show a profit. 

WeVe never seen the figures, of 

course. We merely infer prosperity 

from the fact that the Station has 

lately added an FM installation 

and paid for it out of petty cash. 

This is unique among university 

radio stations, which commonly require 

subsidies t'o enable them to 

stay on the air. 

WHCU's main studio occupies 

the top floor of the Savings Bank 

Building at the corner of Tioga and 

Seneca Streets, the site of Ezra 

Cornell's house through the last 

years of his life. There is a second 

studio on the Campus for the convenience 

of professors who give 

forth every little while on the 

latest pestilence to threaten dairy 

herds and the potato crop. The 

dual arrangement permits the Station 

to keep one foot at all times in 

an academic atmosphere and the 

other firmly planted downtown in 

the marts of trade and among the 

cash customers. This constant split 

puts a strain upon the muscles of 

its legs and loins, but it also accounts 

in some degree for the 

Station's prosperity. 

The regular sending towers adjoin 

the fifth hole at the Country 

Club, and the new FM equipment 

soars to the clouds from the top of 

Mount Pleasant, out the road to 

Dryden. It's * all pretty incredible 

to old-timers who have yet to 

fathom the mysteries of the telephone, 

but the students seem to 

know all about it and not a few of 

them find part-time employment 

as announcers and as technicians 

in the control room. They love it, 

too, as they improve their spoken 

English and see themselves on the 

road to wealth and glory, sharing 

the air with Charlie McCarthy! 

Up to last month, WHCU has 

been a little 1000-watt station 

making a small noise in a remote 

corner of the sky, but it has attracted 

the favorable attention of 

the trade to a degree out of all 

proportion to its boiler capacity. 

It has repeatedly snatched national 

awards for originality, quick thinking, 

and neighborly help to its constituency 

from the jaws of larger 

and more celebrated cloud-splitters. 

It is one of the few little stations 

which every day feeds programs 

originated by it into a network of 

larger stations. The common practice 

is, of course, the reverse of 

this. 

The Cornell Station is organized 

on a commercial basis and is perfectly 

frank about it. But it is 

never painfully commercial, and 

will use expensive time at any hour 

to help a little girl who has lost her 

dog, and will be inconsolable until 

the neighbors find it to give a plug 

for the chicken supper at the 

Kennedy Corners M.E. church. 

Once the new FM gets well underway 

and a comfortable reserve is 

again built up, you are likely to see 

WHCU becoming even less commercial 

and even more eager to 

blaze new trails through the uncharted 

wilderness of the air. 

Nor is your reporter just guessing 

on this point. Sunday mornings 

early, we drive in and broadcast 

ourself for five minutes. Consequently, 

we know where they hide 

the night key and have a weekly 

chance to read the loose mail before 

the staff arrives. We therefore 

advise you with confidence 

that the University's radio research 

project may be expected to 

maintain the Cornell tradition of 

ignoring accepted fashions; of emphasizing 

contrasts, not comparisons.

Intelligence 

After agitation last year in the Cornell 

Sun about compulsory military 

drill and militarism in general, the 

Department of Military Science and 

Tactics has developed a very interesting 

innovation. It may be a ' 'first" in 

ROTC colleges. 

The War Department prescribes a 

lecture course called "World Military 

Arts Faculty 

Give 

ROTC Lectures 

Situation" for all 

first-year ROTC cadets. 

For the larger 

part of last year, it 

was given by Lieutenant Colonel 

Alexander N. Slocum, Jr. '26, executive 

officer of the Corps. Immediately, 

letters - to - the - Sun - editor protested 

that the lectures were all slanted with 

military indoctrination. To meet this 

criticism, a start was made last year 

by bringing in guest lecturers from the 

Arts Faculty. Concomitantly, authorization 

from the War Department was 

sought and obtained to concentrate 

for 1947-48 the two-semester course 

into one term of weekly lectures with 

the entire academic responsibility for 

their content and delivery in the 

hands of the Arts College. The College 

will give an hour of academic credit to 

its students who pass the mid-term 

and final examinations. 

Topsy-like, a rather superlative 

course has developed. A women's club 

study group would give the eye teeth 

of its program chairman to offer the 

following fare: "Geographic Factors 

in the World Situation," Professor 

Von Engeln, Geology; "International 

Political Relations," Briggs, Government; 

"International Economic Rivalry," 

Adams, Economics; "Race 

and Population Problems," Sharp, 

Anthropology; "British Empire," 

Marcham, History; " France and 

Northwest Europe," Fox, History; 

"Central Europe," Lange, German; 

"Mediterranean and Middle East," 

Einauda, Government; "Russia in 

Europe" and "Russia in Asia," Szeftel, 

History; "The Western Pacific" and 

"Northeast Asia," Biggerstaff, History; 

"U.S. in World Affairs," Nettles, 

History. 

The Department of Military Science 

and Tactics asked that each lecturer 

cover four main elements: Raw material 

and industrial status of the area 

concerned, its strategic position, possible 

points and sources of conflict, 

and specific American interests there. 

Otherwise, the speaker is given a free 

hand. If it is repeated next year, it 

will be listed in the Arts Announcement 

as an elective course open to all 

students. 

* * * 

Curiously enough, the series has not 

yet proved to be an unmixed success, 

- . studentwise. It is given at 

Freshmen . , r 

an inconvenient hour to 

p 

many: 8 to 8:50 p.m., 

Thursdays. It had to come in the 

evening to avoid conflicts and it 

couldn't be scheduled at 7 because 

many men wait on table and wash 

dishes for their board. Academic credit 

for it wasn't announced until the 

fifth lecture. Sun correspondence continued 

to lambaste the ROTC program 

as a whole. Football pep rallies 

were in the air. The normal high 

spirits of 900 healthy boys can easily 

get a bit out of hand. A few "antis" 

may h&χe consciously started revolt. 

Anyway, the audience became noisily 

ill-mannered at the start of popular 

Professor Marcham's first talk. So 

noisy was it, in fact, that the Sun the 

next Thursday morning editorially belabored 

the Frosh, saying: "Rough 

handling of Faculty lecturers won't 

abolish ROTC, no matter how much, 

or how justifiably, those who are enrolled 

in it dislike the compulsion to 

take the course. The wiser alternative 

for Freshmen is to act as becomes 

gentlemen. Withdrawal of the Faculty 

lecturers would only result in an increase 

of the routine drilling and timewasting 

aspects of ROTC. If they are 

not greeted with minimum courtesy, 

the Faculty lecturers will be well 

justified in washing their hands of the 

whole idea." 

In. your behalf, I attended that 

night. Half-a-dozen officers and several 

non-coms were there. Only two entrance 

doors were open and these 

were carefully policed for Campus 

canines. Whatever skylarking I heard 

was within reason and I enjoyed the 

whole affair. Professor Marcham at 

the end expressed his appreciation of 

his reception, pointed out that the 

Faculty lecturers were voluntarily 

giving their time, and bespoke courtesy 

toward those to follow.

My curiosity aroused as to the 

ROTC program in general, I spent the 

T5πτr nffl^rc next afternoon with the

; ϋ 

cers 

Commandant, Colonel 

Are leachers R a l p h Hospital, and saw 

the whole establishment: the stables, 

equipment for instruction in motors 

and weapons, the visual aids for teaching, 

and a class in map reading. Only 

one of the three hours a week required 

is now devoted to drill; quite a change 

from my time! The rest is skullpractice, 

and the officers detailed here 

actually merit their classification as 

professors. 

Some 1,450 students, of whom 160 

are in the advanced course, comprise 

the Corps. Seventeen officers and a 

smaller number of non-coms are 

assigned here. Students can elect 

among Artillery, Quartermaster, Air, 

Signal Corps, and Ordnance. Last 

May, the examining team from Washington 

rated our outfit as "excellent" 

which is the highest rating given. Our 

QM unit, trained by Major Raymond 

L. Hoff, Hotel '40, led all the twentythree 

Quartermaster schools in the 

United States. Another alumnus, 

Major Henri F. Frank '41, is in charge 

of leadership, drill, and exercise of 

command. Robert B. Meigs '26, 

secretary of the Board of Trustees and 

University Counsel, during the war 

an officer in the Judge Advocate General's 

Department, lectures on military 

law. Of course, everybody knows 

how necessary the sheer expanse of 

Barton Hall is to the University for 

such diverse things as registration, 

Commencement, basketball, and the 

Junior Prom! 

Lest I leave the impression that the 

studentry is a hotbed of anti-militarism, 

I might mention that the Student 

Council just last year, after 

mature deliberation, endorsed compulsory 

ROTC.

Vardi, violist, November 11. With 

piano accompaniment by Irving Owen, 

the artist played the Brahms " Sonata 

in E Flat," "Sonata in F Major" by 

Paul Hindemuth, his own " Suite on 

American Folk Tunes/' the "Pastorale" 

by Stanley Bate, and the 

Tibor Serly "Rhapsodie," with Chopin's 

"Nocturne in C Sharp Minor" 

and "Rhumba" by Benjamin as 

encores. "Chaconne" by Bach and 

'.'Caprice No. 17" and "Caprice No. 

24" by Paganini, which Vardi played 

without accompaniment, gave him 

special opportunity to display his 

technique of musicianship and the 

peculiar qualities of his instrument.

Clothes Reminiscence 

To ROMEYN BERRY: 

I get a great kick out of your 

ALUMNI NEWS columns. They do 

bring back old times! 

About the pants, do you recall the 

competition for the "loudest" silk 

backs of our vests? I think Goldy 

made the biggest hits. When I went 

home and exposed the back of my 

vest, I was marked as a jailbird! Do 

you remember Pat Wall's shoes, almost 

up to the knee with soles an 

inch thick? Bob Deming's loud knee 

breeches waving in the wind at the 

peak of the flagpole at Percy Field? 

Great times those were, and what 

fun we all had!

More on Buildings 

To THE EDITOR: 

On pages 287 and 288 of Volume 1 

of his Autobiography, President Andrew 

D. White tells how he dreamed 

of erecting "on that queenly site above 

the finest of the New York lakes" a 

University beautiful and dignified 

like Oxford or Cambridge; "halls as 

lordly as that of Christ Church or of 

Trinity, and towers as dignified as 

those of Magdalen and Merton. 

quadrangles as beautiful as those of 

Jesus and St. Johns." 

It looked for a time as if his dreams 

might be approached when Willard 

Straight, the dormitories and the 

Law School buildings were erected and 

IS CHIVALRY DEAD? (SEE ABOVE) 

the decision made that the future 

buildings would be along the Norman 

Gothic type of architecture. In the 

last years it seems as if the Norman 

Gothic was given up in favor of modern 

factory. The authorities seem to 

be 'bent on ^ making our buildings 

functional. They apparently overlook 

that one of the functions of university 

buildings is to lift up the minds and 

the hearts of the students and to surround 

them with dignity and beauty. 

Mr. Sessler in his letter in the 

October 1 ALUMNI NEWS blames the 

College of Architecture for not raising 

voice in protest. The real responsibility 

lies with the Trustees, and we 

alumni should insist that any alumnus 

who aspires to Trusteeship should 

give a pledge ahead of time that from 

now on the authorities stop erecting 

drab structures and raise college buildings 

that will be beautiful and dignified 

as well as functional. 

—Louis J. HEIZMANN '05 

"Is Chivalry Dead?" 

To THE EDITOR: 

Concerning the picture on page 99 

of the October 15 ALUMNI NEWS: 

Is chivalry dead at Cornell? Why 

shouldn't that little squirt of a Freshman 

stand up when a lady comes in 

the room, even though she too is a 

Freshman? I can understand why 

perhaps Foster Coffin does not stand 

up: his joints might creak a bit, and 

besides, he is the Director of Willard 

Straight Hall!

Slants on Sports 

VARSITY football team met tough opposition in early November, 

winning from Syracuse, 12-6, before 25,000 on Schoellkopf Field, 

November 8, and losing to Dartmouth, 13-21, at Hanover, November 15. 

The season's record thus stood at four won and four lost, with the Pennsylvania 

game yet to be played at Franklin Field. 

Snow Delays Game 

OR six consecutive week ends, the 

Fteam had played at home and 

abroad under ideal, if somewhat warm, 

weather conditions. But the day Syracuse 

came to Ithaca, it rained and 

snowed. Tarpaulins on Schoellkopf 

were covered with three inches of 

soggy snow. At one o'clock, an hour 

before scheduled game time, the task 

of uncovering the field was started. 

Volunteers were called from the stands 

to help the regular crew. Manpower 

wasn't enough, and two snowplows 

and several trucks had to clear the 

tarpaulins before they could be pulled 

and rolled to the sidelines. The game 

started thirty-five minutes late, but 

the skies had cleared and late-comers 

weren't late, after all. 

Cornell was favored to win; some 

said by three touchdowns. Syracuse 

promptly proceeded to confound the 

prophets. Captain Walter A. Kretz '45 

fumbled, and Bagley, the Syracuse 

right tackle, recovered on Cornell's 

48-yard line. Five plays produced a 

touchdown. Dolan, a halfback who 

carried the burden of the Syracuse 

running attack, and Buchsbaum and 

Slovenski ran to two first downs on 

the 24. Dolan started another run, 

aiming at Cornell's left tackle. Short 

of the line of scrimmage, he leaped 

into the air and threw an unerring pass 

to Schiffner, left end. Schiffner had no 

trouble scoring the touchdown. Paul, 

a placekicking specialist, failed to convert. 

The time was 6:20 in the first 

period. 

Cornell answered with a fifty-yard 

march, engineered principally by Bernard 

S. Babula '50 and Norman Dawson 

'46, but on the Syracuse 30-yard 

line the visitors took the ball on 

downs. 

Dragotta's punt went out on Cornell's 

32-yard line. Carl R. Holland 

'49, who later was to make amends, 

lost a yard. Babula picked up three. 

Robert T. Dean '50, operating as a 

halfback, cut through left tackle, reversed 

his field, and went to the 

Syracuse 14-yard line,*cut down there 

by Dolan and Slovenski. 

The teams changed goals for the 

second period, and Dean started running 

again. He made four, four again, 

three. From the 3-yard line, he dove 

184 

through at left guard and scored. His 

placekick for the point was wide, and 

the score was tied, 6-6. 

Dean kicked off, and Dragotta's 

answering punt went out on Cornell's 

39. Holland, Dean, and Dawson ran 

for first down on the Syracuse 48. 

Lynn P. Dorset '50 threw a pass to 

Babula for first down on the Syracuse 

15. Four plays later, Cornell yielded 

the ball on downs on the Syracuse 31. 

There were no other scoring threats 

on either side in the first half, but in 

less than two minutes of. the third 

period, Cornell had its game-winning 

touchdown. James R. Farrell '50, 

who had won the starting berth at 

right tackle, kicked off. The first kick 

went out of bounds to the right, the 

second went out to the left. The two 

miscues gave Syracuse the ball on 

Cornell's 40-yard line. Dolan threw a 

pass to Dragotta, good for sixteen 

yards. Two running plays put the 

ball on the 18. Dolan threw an incomplete 

pass. 

It was fourth down. Dolan tried 

another pass, off to the left. The ball 

ticked the fingers of one Cornell defender, 

and Holland snared it on the 

5-yard line. Frank Pastuck '41, center, 

cleared Holland's path to the 

sideline with a key block. Holland 

picked up John B. Rogers '45, left 

end, as convoy, and Rogers accounted 

for two Syracusans as Holland went 

all the way for the score. Dean again 

missed the try for point. 

Only once thereafter did Cornell 

maneuver into Syracuse territory. 

Syracuse was driving, after a pass interception 

by Left Tackle Burkle. 

Dolan had completed a pass to a substitute 

end, Acocella, on Cornell's 23. 

There Dolan fumbled, and Rogers recovered. 

Dean booted a quick kick to 

the Syracuse 19. A return punt went 

out at midfield. Dean and Winfred B. 

Wright '45 picked up a first down, but 

Dean had to punt again as the third 

period ended. 

Syracuse started the last quarter 

with two first downs, then, after an 

exchange of punts, moved to midfield, 

where Frpdferick A. Westphal, Jr. '45, 

recovered Dolan's fumble. Dawson 

and Babula picked up nine yards. On 

fourth down, needing only one yard, 

Wright fumbled, and Dolan recovered 

on Syracuse's 39-yard line. 

Syracuse started a bid for a tie or a 

victory. Dolan and Slovenski made 

first down on the Cornell 47. Dolan 

was hurt on the next play, but Davis, 

his substitute, passed to Nussbaum, a 

reserve end, for first down on Cornell's 

35. Slovenski passed to Acocella on 

Cornell's 19. Dolan returned to the 

Syracuse lineup, with two minutes 

and seven seconds to play. Syracuse 

shifted to its running attack and 

ground out a first down on the 8-yard 

line. Slovenski ran to the 5, and Davis, 

in again, was held for no gain. Twentyfive 

seconds were left. Davis launched 

a pass." Holland intercepted it on the 

goal line and ran to the 25 as the game 

ended. 

All told, Holland picked up 120 

yards on two intercepted passes. 

The victory, plus the earlier 27-18 

win over Colgate, gave Cornell the 

Central New York championship. It 

was also Cornell's seventeenth victory 

in the twenty-four-game series with 

Syracuse. 

Cornell 13, Dartmouth 21 

H 

ANOVER had the coldest 

weather of the season, with snow 

banking Memorial Field, for the game 

there. 

Cornell picked up more first downs, 

more yards rushing, and more yards 

passing^ than Dartmouth, but three 

specific plays spelled defeat: a blocked 

kick, a recovered fumble, and a pass 

interception. 

Cornell made the first offensive 

gesture after the kiekoff, with Dean 

and Kretz running for two first downs. 

Dartmouth's line, which played superlatively 

all day, checked the drive. 

Dartmouth went into high offensive 

gear, starting on its 41-yard line and 

rolling to three first downs on the 

running of Pensavalle, a halfback, and 

the forward passing of Quarterback 

Sullivan to End Armstrong. Cornell 

dug in and halted the march on its 

16-yard line. 

Dean went back to punt. Gowen, a 

substitute tackle, broke through and 

blocked the ball, and Jenkins, left 

tackle, recovered it in the end zone for 

a touchdown. Fullback Carey carefully 

placekicked the point. The time was 

12:55 of the first period. 

The second period was without a 

score. At 1:25 of the third quarter, 

Cornell had a touchdown on a brilliant 

seventy-four-yard run by Dawson, 

who took the ball on a pitch-out 

by Dorset and cut around right end. 

Dean's placekick for the tying point 

was no good. 

Nine minutes later, Stuart Young, 

one of two brothers playing at guard 

for Dartmouth, broke through and 

recovered a fumble by Dawson on 

Cornell's 21-yard line. Pensavalle and 


another substitute halfback, O'Brien, 

moved the ball fourteen yards in five 

plays. Sullivan pitched a pass to Armstrong 

for a touchdown, and Carey 

converted to make the score 14-6. 

Cornell drove to midfield, principally 

on Dorset's pass to Rogers, good 

for twenty-one yards, but Dartmouth's 

line stopped the march. 

Early in the final period, Dartmouth 

put on a sustained march of 

fifty-eight yards, from Dartmouth's 

24 to Cornell's 18. There Fitkin, 

another of Dartmouth's reserve backs, 

fumbled. Dawson, whose fumble had 

led to Dartmouth's second touchdown, 

recovered the loose ball. Dorset 

tried a pass on first down. It didn't 

work. Truncellito, another substitute 

back, intercepted and returned to 

Cornell's 6-yard line. O'Brien headed 

for left tackle, hit a pile of players, 

and caromed off and into the end 

zone. Carey converted. 

Dean replaced Dorset at quarterback 

and launched a final air offensive. 

His first two passes were dropped, the 

first by Dawson, in the clear; the 

second by Carey, who had an interception 

in his hands. Then Dean connected 

with Harry E. Cassel '50, who 

had earned the starting assignment at 

left end. Another pass wound up in a 

ruling of interference, and Cornell 

had the ball on Dartmouth's 45. Dean 

tried another pass. Chapman, Dartmouth's 

left halfback, tipped the ball 

and helped Cassel make another 

catch for a first down on Dartmouth's 

10-yard line. Cornell drove to the 4yard 

stripe and lost the ball on downs. 

Dartmouth kicked out to the 35yard 

line, and Dean went back to 

pass. He could locate no receiver and 

elected to run. The maneuver brought 

a first down on Dartmouth's 18. On 

the next play, with ten seconds to go, 

Dean whipped a pass to Matthew J. 

Bolger '48, reserve left end, who 

scored. Dean placekicked the point. 

Cornell picked up 144 yards rushing 

to Dartmouth's 112 and completed 

nine of twenty-three passes for 

166 yards. Dartmouth's five completed 

passes netted fifty-one yards. 

The Dartmouth victory tied the 

series at fifteen wins apiece. One 

game ended in a tie.

Syracuse Wins J-V 

UNIOR VARSITY eleven lost its 

first game in four contests in 

Archbold Stadium, November 7, as 

Syracuse scored two touchdowns in 

the fourth period to win, 20-13. 

Cornell opened up a 13-0 lead in the 

first period. James L. Smith '50, center, 

intercepted a pass and ran fiftyfive 

yards for a touchdown, with Warren 

J. Gerhart ; 49, left tackle, converting 

the point. Ralph R. Barnard

Thomas V. Gargan '50, left halfback, 

threw a scoring pass to Eugene J. 

Hummer, Jr. '50, a substitute end. 

Syracuse picked up a touchdown in 

the third period on forward passes. In 

the fourth period, Syracuse capitalized 

on two Cornell fumbles. The first 

was recovered on the Cornell 13, the 

second on the 22, The touchdowns 

were scored on passes, as were the 2 

points after touchdowns. All the passes 

were thrown by Serafin, a substitute 

halfback. 

Frosh Beat Orange 

T^RESHMAN team went to Syra- 

-•* cuse November 14 and handed the 

Orange freshmen a 32-0 defeat. Cornell 

scored three touchdowns in the 

second period and two in the fourth. 

First to score was Jeff R. Fleischmann 

'51, fullback, on a four-yard buck. C. 

Russell Schuh '51 climaxed an eightythree-yard 

drive with a five-yard 

scoring run off tackle. The third 

touchdown came on a pass from Bertram 

Lebhar III '51 to Lyndon C. 

Hull '51. Paul K. Clymer '51 accounted 

for the fourth touchdown on a oneyard 

reverse, and Lebhar threw a pass 

to Jere I. Klivansky '51 for the final 

score. Hull's placekicking accounted 

for two conversions. 

Lightweights End Season 

T 

HE 150-pound football team 

completed its Eastern Intercollegiate 

150-pound Football League 

campaign with two more losses, to 

Princeton, 6-0, on snow-covered Alumni 

Field, November 8, and to the 

US Naval Academy, 31-0, on Schoellkopf 

Field, November 15. By its 

victory, the Naval Academy successfully 

defended its championship with 

four straight victories, and one 

game left to play. 

Cornell ended the five-game season 

with one victory (over Pennsylvania, 

9-6) and losses to Villanova, 6-0, Rutgers, 

19-0, andPrinceton and the Naval 

Academy. Lafayette and Yale, the 

other League members, did not enter 

teams this year. 

Princeton defeated Cornell on a 

ninety-yard run, despite treacherous 

footing, by Lowry, a reserve halfback. 

In the second half, Rocco J. Lapenta 

'50, a lineman, recovered a fumble in 

mid-air and ran forty-five yards for 

what appeared to be the tying touchdown, 

but the referee ruled that the 

play occurred after the whistle. 

Cornell was no match for the Naval 

Academy, which used three complete 

teams. The first team scored three 

touchdowns; the second team, two. 

The running of Richard Cor with '50 

earned Cornell its three first downs. 

C 

Cross Country Ends 

ROSS COUNTRY team closed its 

season by competing in the Nonagonals 

at Princeton, November 8, and 

the Intercollegiates at Van Cortlandt

Soccer Still Scoreless 

R the third straight game, the 

Varsity soccer team failed to score 

and lost to the US Military Academy, 

1-0, at West Point, November 15. The 

Academy's winning goal was scored in 

the third period when Ruddy, inside 

left, booted a rebound. Bruce E. 

Care '49, goal guard, had just made 

a good save, but he was flat on the 

ground when Ruddy capitalized his 

scoring chance. 

Freshman soccer closed its season 

with three November victories, for 

an over-all record of four wins and 

two losses. Both defeats were by the 

Sampson College varsity. The team 

defeated Ithaca College, 2-1, on Alumni 

Field, November 5; Colgate by 

the same score at Hamilton, November 

7; and Syracuse, 3-0, on Alumni 

Field, November 14. Deri I. Derr '51 

and Rafael E. Madriz '51 scored within 

two minutes in the third period of 

the Ithaca College game. Derr also 

scored against Colgate, along with 

Vincent E. Calbick '51. Against Syracuse, 

Derr counted twice, with James 

F. Ballew '52 scoring the third goal.

Bromfield Stories 

Kenny. By Louis Bromfield '18. 

Harper & Brothers, New York City. 

1947. 219 pages, $2. 

The three short pieces which make 

up this book are "Kenny," a fine story 

of life on the farm; "Retread/ 7 

in 

which a World War I hero returns to 

the France of World War II and the 

scene of his early conquests, both 

military and amorous; and "The 

End of the Road/' which recounts the 

rise and fall of Jane Trenoir, an ambitious 

beauty of Nazi sympathies. 

Books By Freund '29 

Easter Island. By Philip Freund 

'29. Beechhurst Press, New York 

City. 1947. 221 pages, $2.50. 

This is the best of the author's seven 

novels (he has also written three volumes 

of short stories, three short 

plays, a "fantasy," and a book of literary 

criticism). It is romantically set 

in God's remotest acre: "Easter Island, 

alone in almost five thousand 

miles of open water, the vast landless 

South Pacific," just before the outbreak 

of World War I, and concerns a 

mere handful of well-assorted characters. 

James Alquist is twenty-two, 

a Cambridge student of anthropology, 

blond, with pale green eyes. His antagonist 

is the mysterious Senor Perez, 

a Peruvian of sadistic appetites and 

doubtful calling. The girl, Hine, is 

tall, beautiful, of pure Polynesian 

strain. The Island's English exile, 

William Brown, acts as chorus to the 

melodrama, which ends in screaming, 

moonlit death. 

Freund makes admirable use of 

Vice-Admiral Graf von Spee's German 

Pacific fleet, which might easily 

have touched Easter Island before its 

rendezvous with the British at Coronel 

and the Falklands. 

How to Become a Literary Critic. 

By Philip Freund '29. Beechhurst 

Press, New York City. 1947. 200 pages, 

$3.00. 

Apart from its pretentious and inaccurate 

title, this is a rewarding group 

of essays on Fielding (chiefly Tom 

Jones, which is probably Freund's 

favorite novel in all Hterature,, and 

not a bad choice at that), Melville 

(with deserved emphasis on Billy 

Budd), Hardy, Conrad, and D. H. 

Lawrence. Freund's reading plan of 

twenty-four books is a good one.

Early Mariners 

Ancient Greek Mariners. By Walter 

W. Hyde '93. Oxford University 

Press, New York City. 1947. 360 

pages, $5.00. 

This book is not merely an account 

of the geographical discoveries of the 

ancient Greeks, as the title might indicate. 

It is virtually a history of the 

sea in ancient times, telling of the 

predecessors of the Greeks in the Mediterranean 

(such as the Egyptians, 

Cretans, and Phoenicians) and the 

mariners who sailed after them, including 

the great explorers of North 

and South America. 

The Greek portion highlights the 

adventures of Odysseus and the Homeric 

geography in the Mediterranean. 

In an epilogue, an estimate is 

given of the value of Greek navigation. 

Annotated from ancient and modern 

authorities, illustrated with maps, 

and containing a bibliography and 

index, this work is a rare treasure for 

a scholar's library. Dr. Hyde is emeritus 

professor of Greek and ancient 

history at the University of Pennsylvania 

and was instructor in Greek at 

the University, 1909-10. He dedicates 

this book to his sister and his brothers, 

Howard E. Hyde '00 and Roger D. 

Hyde '08. 

Plato and Milton 

Plato and Milton. By Irene Samuel 

'35. Cornell University Press, Ithaca. 

1947. 193 pages, $2. 

Volume XXXV of Cornell Studies 

in English, edited by Professor Lane 

Cooper, English Language and Literature, 

Emeritus, Plato and Milton is 

dedicated to Professor Cooper by his 

former pupil, who is now an instructor 

in English at Hunter College. M,iss 

Samuel shows that the works of Plato 

were "not merely a source, but a 

stimulant to Milton, and acted as a 

catalytic agent on the heterogeneous 

materials of pagan, Biblical, and 

Christian learning in his mind." 

Boston Family 

Beacon Hill Children. By Elizabeth 

Rhodes Jackson '97. L. C. Page & Co., 

Boston, Mass. 1947. 218 pages, $2.50. 

This is a story about three children, 

Dee, Jack, and Beany Corey, of Boston, 

and their dog, Reginald, who is a 

very important character in the story. 

They have many exciting adventures, 

as told by Dee, including the time 

Beany wins a sailboat race with only 

he and Reginald, the dog, as crew. 

Beacon Hill Children will interest and 

appeal to readers of all ages.

White Advises Founder 

Λ LETTER written from London 

*~* by President Andrew D. White 

to Ezra Cornell, July 3, 1868, announcing 

that White had persuaded 

Professor Goldwin Smith of Oxford 

and James Law of Belfast to join he 

Faculty of the new University, is the 

property of Miss Julia Law, Dr. Law's 

daughter, who lives in Ithaca. 

President White wrote the Founder 

jubilantly of Law's outstanding qualifications 

to be the first Professor of 

Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, 

the terms on which he had agreed to 

come to Cornell, and that "he will sail 

with his family in August." Then the 

letter continues: 

Be very careful or it will be noised 

abroad that I am the "practical man" of 

the concern!! And one thing more; don't, 

I beg of you, put up your new building 

without regard to architectural style or 

position. I have thought much of this recently, 

while inducing men to leave many 

attractions elsewhere and go to our institution. 

The place where we are must be 

made beautiful and attractive. Nothing 

should be allowed to injure its symmetry 

or mar its beauty. Make it beautiful, as 

we can easily do with no great additional 

outlay, and best of scholars and thinkers 

will gladly come to us, but make it rough 

and unsymmetrical and we shall gradually 

find that we can get the best men only by 

paying extravagant prices and that even 

then they can be easily called away from 

us, and I say again now that if you erect 

in a sightly position on our grounds a 

great staring workshop it will, I am satisfied, 

be a mistake in many ways. Don't go 

too far with it before I see you, which will 

in all probability be before the end of July. 

Finally, I had almost concluded to telegraph* 

by cable the news of the engagement 

of Goldwin Smith and James Law, 

that you might at once give the news to 

the Associated Press, but have concluded 

to send by mail. 

It is of such importance, however, and 

Goldwin Smith especially is so beloved and 

honored by our Citizens for the noble stand 

he took during our Rebellion (you remember 

that a public dinner was given him in 

New York), that I think you would do 

well on receiving this to telegraph at once 

to Associated Press that I have engaged 

Goldwin Smith as Professor of English 

History and James Law of Belfast as Professor 

of Veterinary Surgery in Cornell 

University. I think the above a far more 

important and interesting piece of news 

than most which go over the wires, and it 

would be worth much to us as it would 

meet the eyes of a million people. 

And now get the faithful band of good 

men and true together; McGraw, A. B. 

Cornell, Schuyler, Boardman, Andrus, 

Finch and above all don't forget Selkreg 

for-1 want him to ι 'deacon out" the most 

triumphant hymn he knows and after you 

have sung it to the most jubilant tune you 

know, go to work with renewed vigor. I 

am not of the over-sanguine kind, and as 

you know have often been obliged to restrain 

your youthful ardor, but I tell you 

all seriously that we are to succeed beyond 

anything we have dreamed of! 

And I tell you, all of you, that by attaching 

our names to the Cornell University 

by good work in building it we shall 

gain a name and fame beyond that of nine 

tenths of the great politicians who make 

much noise and are then forgotten, since 


they leave nothing worth remembering. 

It is so here in England and it is so in 

America. The men who have labored in 

such work as we are engaged in have been 

remembered when kings and rulers were 

forgotten. 

The above is the sermon to follow Selkreg's 

hymn and a more true sermon was 

never preached. 

Tell Finch that I am getting ideas together 

for a library building and that my 

plan is a good one and that he will say so 

when he sees it. What we are to do with 

our books, etc. it is hard to tell. We have 

already enough to fill a large building. 

Sincerely yours, 

A. D. White

Train for China Service 

U S 

STATE DEPARTMENT has 

sent three foreign service officers 

destined for China here for area and 

language training in Chinese. They 

are in the Graduate School for a 

year's course in the modernization of 

China, another in Far Eastern economics, 

a seminar in current Chinese 

problems, and other area studies, as 

well as intensive study of the Chinese 

language. 

Robert A. Aylward, graduate of 

Dartmouth, has had no previous 

training in the language, but served in 

the AAF in China for more than a 

year. His wife is studying Chinese 

with him. John M. MacDonald, a 

Yale graduate, lived in China from 

1935-37, teaching in Tungchow. John 

M. Farrior was born and lived in 

Chinkiang, China, later coming to 

America and graduating at Davidson 

College. The three families live together 

in a big house in East Ithaca, 

where they converse in Chinese. After 

they leave Cornell they will spend 

another year studying Chinese in the 

foreign service officers language school 

in Peiping before they receive their 

diplomatic assignments. 

Also majoring in Chinese this year 

is an Air Corps lieutenant colonel, 

Robert L. VanAusdall '48, who served 

in China during the war and hopes to 

return there for diplomatic work. Like 

many regular-Army officers, he is sent 

here to complete his undergraduate 

career.

"Unlocking Secrets of the Northern 

Lights," by Dr. Carl W. Gartlein, 

PhD '29, director of the National 

Geographic Society-Cornell University 

Study of the Aurora at Cornell, 

appeared in the November issue of 

the National Geographic Magazine. 

With the aid of grants from the National 

Geographic Society, study of 

the aurora has been going on at the 

University for the last eight years. 

The principal observatory is at Professor 

Gartlein's home several miles 

north of Ithaca, away from the city 

lights and where he and Mrs. Gartlein 

(Helen Hart) '28 can attend to the 

instruments during the evening and 

night. Scientists at Colgate and at 

Oslo, Norway, and many professional 

and amateur observers in the United 

States and Canada are cooperating in 

the work, which is closely followed by 

the National Bureau of Standards, 

the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, 

and the department of terrestial 

magnetism of the Carnegie Institution 

of Washington, D. C. This study is 

important since the same showers of 

particles from the sun that produce 

the aurora also cause magnetic storms 

which hinder or make impossible 

radio, telephone, and telegraph communications.

stated: "Daly paints well-designed 

and rich, but subtly colored compositions, 

based on American Indian 

themes," and later, "Aside from 

Daly's unusual gift of projection, 

which enable him to re-interpret an 

ancient and alien culture without condescension, 

the works also reveal fine 

observation of movement and excellent 

feeling for color and design."

CORNELL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 

18 EAST AVENUE ITHACA, N.Y. 

W. Morgan Kendall, Class Correspondent 

32 Argyle Park, Buffalo 9, N. Y. 

'19—You have been promised information 

about your Classmates in 

this column. Apparently Bill Emerson 

finds your questionnaires so interesting 

that he has been unable to part 

with them. With the deadline for this 

issue at hand, I shall have to confine 

my news to Buffalo. Forgive me, I did 

not plan it this way. 

Our Cornell Club here, always a 

live-wire aggregation, is enjoying an 

unusually active and interesting year. 

This is due largely to the leadership of 

Alfred M. Saperston '19, the Club 

president. A leading attorney in Buffalo, 

Al is a member of the firm of 

Saperston, McNaughtan & Saperston 

with offices in the Liberty Bank 

Building. He resides with his wife and 

two children at 85 Nottingham Terrace. 

LiJê Al, I have lived in this city all 

my life. Immediately after graduation 

I entered the securities business. In 

the intervening twenty-seven years, 

it seems to me I have seen everything. 

Certainly I 'am rich in experience, an 

asset which I find to be of questionable 

value at times. I am rich in some 

other things too. I have a charming 

wife whom many of you will recall as 

"Happy" Parsons '19, a member of 

the distaff side of our Class. I also have 

a lovely daughter, Patricia '49, now a 

Junior at Cornell. The youngster is 

giving a pretty good account of herself. 

She is active on the Sun board 

and is a member of Alpha Phi sorority 

and Raven and Serpent, the 

latter being the women's counterpart 

of Aleph Samach. 

Speaking of all these riches, some 

of the more curious ones among you 

may be wondering how I have fared 

in the accumulation of this world's 

material goods. I can answer that best 

by confessing that I am one of the 

twenty-odd members of our Class who 

have underwritten this Group Subscription 

and I have been worried to 

death ever since, lest I be called upon 

to make good. Consequently, men of 

'19, rally around the banner and pay 

your dues in goodly numbers!

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT 

IN THE BELL SYSTEM 

IT USED TO BE that the owners of 

practically every business were themselves 

the managers of the business. 

Today, as far as large businesses are 

concerned, a profound change has 

taken place. In the Bell System, for 

instance, employee management, up 

from the ranks, and not owner management, 

is responsible for running the 

business. 

This management has been trained 

for its job in the American ideal of 

respect for the individual and equal 

opportunity for each to develop his talents 

to the fullest. A little thought will 

bring out the important significance of 

these facts. 

Management is, of course, vitally interested 

in the success of the enterprise 

it manages, for if it doesn't succeed, it 

will lose its job. 

So far as the Bell System is concerned, 

the success of 'the enterprise 

depends upon the ability of management 

to carry on an essential nationwide 

telephone service in the public 

interest. 

This responsibility requires that 

management act as a trustee for the 

interest of all concerned: the millions 

of telephone users, the hundreds of 

thousands of employees, and the hundreds 

of thousands of stockholders. 

Management necessarily must do the 

best it can to reconcile the interests 

of these groups. 

Of course, management is not infallible; 

but with its intimate knowledge 

of all the factors, management is in a 

better position than anybody else to 

consider intelligently and act equitably 

for each of these groups—and in the 

Bell System there is every incentive for 

it to wish to do so. 

Certainly in the Bell System there is 

no reason either to underpay labor or 

overcharge customers in order to increase 

the "private profits of private 

employers/' for its profits are limited 

by regulation. In fact, there is no reason 

whatever for management to exploit or 

to favor any one of the three great 

groups as against the others and to do 

so would be plain stupid on the part 

of management. 

IHE BUSINESS cannot succeed in the 

long run without well-paid employees 

with good working conditions, without 

adequate returns to investors who have 

put their savings in the enterprise, and 

without reasonable prices to the cus- 

tomers who buy its services. On the 

whole, these conditions have been wellmet 

over the years in the Bell System. 

Admittedly, this has not been and 

is not an easy problem to solve fairly 

for all concerned. However, collective 

bargaining with labor means that labor's 

point of view is forcibly presented. 

What the investor must have is determined 

quite definitely by what is required 

to attract the needed additional 

capital, which can only be obtained in 

competition with other industries. 

AND in our regulated business, management 

has the responsibility, together 

with regulatory authorities, to 

see to it that the rates to the public 

are such as to assure the money, credit 

and plant that will give the best possible 

telephone service at all times. 

More and better telephone service at 

a cost as low as fair treatment of employees 

and a reasonable return to 

stockholders will permit is the aim and 

responsibility of management in the 

Bell System.
